Batch renaming files with numbering 001,002,...

[Gast]

Is it possible to start at batch converting the filename automatically with 001 and step 1 so that the result is 001, 002 ...010, 011 and so on? otherwise when i use the numerical sorting, the result in XnView ist ok, but in the explorer sorted 18, 19, 1, 20, 21 .

Hello !
- The sorting mode depends of the DLL : Shlwapi.dll set in the Windows system directory. To get a "natural" sorting, you need a version 6.00.xxx…
- This DLL is uptaded when you update IE. It comes right with IE 6.0x.
- The M$ documents about that are rather false - too pessimist for one time ! -
- You might give a try to Total Commander, in which it's possible already to improve this sorting, and more in the next version (Sh!).
-You could get an almost logical sorting in the current version 6.03a…
- Hoping this help,
Kind regards,
Claude

XnView's Batch Rename Tools allows this.
Use ### as the enumerator instead of just one # and you will get the zero-filled three digits.
